When a 13-year-old Virginia girl
started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. But when the sneezes
continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl
was still sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted
worldwide attention. Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from "put
a clothes pin on her nose" to "have her stand on her head" poured in. But
nothing did any good. Finally, she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital where Dr.
Leo Kanner, one of the world’s top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling
(难以理解的) problem with great speed. He used neither drugs nor
surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in an ancient
superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in
her mind, he said, a view which Aristotle, A. was ill B. was mentally ill C. had heavy mental burden D. had attracted world-wide attention
